the RC "T" section used as a column section and i define fiber section as:

when analyze static,the Gravity analysis failed,but the pushover was success. then the pushover curve have some wrong,i can't upload the picture to describe it. and the rect section is good without wrong.so i think the problem is how to build the fiber section of "T" correctly.
please give me some suggestion about the "T"section.thanks
help me to build a T section,please
